背景：需要使用vmware安装oracle数据库，但linux机由于没有安装vmware tools 无法跟主机共享文件，粘贴板。

    说明：本教程以vmware 12为基础提供安装vmware tools的步骤，对应linux系统版本为Redhat 6.5.

Vmware Tools工具安装

----点击虚拟机顶部工具栏选择虚拟机--安装VMware Tools

----完成步骤1后，桌面上会生成一个vmware tools的dvd光盘,选中光盘单击右键--在终端中打开

----输入ls命令查看文件列表，使用命令tar -xzvf VMwareTools-10.0.6-3595377.tar.gz -C /opt 解压压缩包文件到/opt目录下

----进入解压后生成的vmware-tools-distrib

cd /opt/vmware-tools-distrib

----运行vmware-install.pl安装，进入安装后不断点回车，直至安装完成。运行命令如下

 ./vmware-install.pl

ps:详细安装过程如下：

[root@oraserver VMware Tools]# ls

manifest.txt     VMwareTools-10.0.6-3595377.tar.gz  vmware-tools-upgrader-64

run_upgrader.sh  vmware-tools-upgrader-32

[root@oraserver VMware Tools]# tar -xzvf VMwareTools-10.0.6-3595377.tar.gz -C /opt

[root@oraserver opt]# cd /opt/vmware-tools-distrib

[root@oraserver vmware-tools-distrib]# ls
